                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 22, 2001

  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I would again like to recognize and 
congratulate the remarkable Mansfield Lady Tigers basketball team, for 
repeating for the 3rd consecutive year Texas Division 5-A girls 
basketball champions.
  I have just returned from my District in North Texas and I can report 
that Lady Tiger fever is running high, and talk of a 4-peat is already 
in the air. All of Mansfield and its surrounding communities have been 
energized by the Lady Tigers exciting drive to a third straight state 
title. Last week, the Lady Tigers were also honored with a #1 national 
ranking.
  The Lady Tigers provided us with thrills all season, but their run 
through the playoffs was especially exciting. The fact that is amazing 
is 4,000 residents took off work to watch the team win another state 
championship in Austin shows the strong commitment of the Mansfield 
community to their Tigers.
  Once again congratulations to Coach Morrow and all of the Mansfield 
Lady Tiger players and coaches on their tremendous achievement. Savor 
this victory, you deserve it after a tremendous season. We can't wait 
to watch you next year.

                          ____________________
